Testing Websites by P3R2 Model
Cyber espionage at the government, corporate and individual levels has increased dramatically over the last few years. The cyberspace has become the latest domain of Chinese belligerence. There is a crying need for a cohesive global arrangement to address the emerging issues of Cyberspace. Apart from trying to cull out information on internet traffic and content usage, many are also trying to secure sensitive data. The primary target seems to be the data leaks and an access to monitor content. There are links between leaks and usability of websites. A more usable application will reduce leaks. Thus, web security is at risk. Terms like navigation, navigational structures, usability, complexity and security are all inter-related. A more complex web software will have a complex navigation, so poor usability and hence more security flaws. The need is to thoroughly test these websites. Various techniques of black-box, white-box and gray box testing of websites have been proposed in literature for extensive and thorough testing of websites. Still the errors escape out. This paper proposes a new PPPRR (P3R2) MODEL for website testing.
Keywords: Website testing, Web security, Page-Test-Trees, Reusability, Path testing.
